About Us

Channing Hammond Associates is the collaboration of Hilary Channing and Anna Hammond.

We’ve worked together since meeting in 1999 and establishing The Channing Hammond Partnership in 2005 which ran until 2016. At that point we stepped out to work for someone else. Our website provides a flavour of the services and support we offer. We are always happy to answer your questions and talk through your needs at any time.

What’s different?

We are offering HR services which are flexible and collaborative to clients, other consultancies and individuals. This could be support with projects, taking on elements of larger commissions or providing the big campaign management.

We can parachute in at short notice or become part of your team – whatever’s best for you. Because we work collaboratively, we’re not afraid to bring in people on projects to get our clients the best results.

What’s going to be the same?

Well us for starters! Our expertise at the executive end of the recruitment market and our brilliant networks in the not for profit sector, positions us to hit the ground running and get results.

We understand the social housing sector – the challenges and fantastic opportunities this presents and oh yes, we have a track record of delivery and success in the sector.

Our own inimitable style!

How can we help you?

If you work with us, you will get a Partner as your key lead so you get the person who you meet to deliver your work.

If we haven’t the expertise you need, we’ll find you someone who does, someone that we trust to work with us.

Whatever your needs, we will deliver outstanding results sometimes on our own but often together.

Anna about Hilary

I first met Hilary when we worked together as Directors at Insight many years ago. She has delivered successful assignments in all aspects of HR, Recruitment and Development for too many years to mention, initially for big corporates in the airline and estate agency sectors and more recently in HR Consultancy in the not for profit sector. Her skills and passion are in Executive Talent Management and she’s at her happiest working with people, whether that’s finding and recruiting great candidates, assessing and developing talent to move businesses forward or coaching and mentoring people to become great leaders.

Living just 10 minutes’ walk from the foreshore of Emsworth Harbour in Hampshire, she is lucky to be able to take advantage of this great environment as a backdrop to her office. When she’s not running her business interests, she is Chair of a local housing association and provides 5 Star hotel accommodation for a range of rescue cats and ex battery chickens!

Hilary about Anna

Anna and I have worked together and been business partners for many years – we have gone through times of success and challenge but we still manage to share a brilliant sense of humour, a passion for what we do and a love of working for ourselves. Anna has worked on and delivered a range of HR out sourcing projects, Executive and NED recruitment campaigns, remuneration advice, outplacement coaching and has worked in partnership with Chief Executives and Executive Teams providing strategic and practical HR support and direction.

Living in Milton Keynes (home of the Red Bull F1 Racing Team, lots of roundabouts- and concrete cows!) Anna is a petrol head and expert at navigating her way around obstacles. She is a former Chair of a housing association and when she is not running her business interests she renovates properties and has a passion for interior design.

What Our Clients Say

We approached Hilary & Anna when we were looking to fill two key Board positions. They achieved a great outcome for us, but I was particularly impressed with the way they took time to really understand us as a business and what we needed in our new NEDs.

Thank you for dealing with our executive profiling and testing so efficiently. The assessment reports were very informative in helping ensure the right fit of the candidates and of their leadership potential. An excellent candidate has now been appointed. Thank you.
